Pally vs. DK vs. Warrior or 5th Shaman?
So, we all know that Blizzard is pushing to make all three of those classes suitable for AOE tanking. I would have included Druids, but I just hate leveling them.
I moved my Shamans to Turalyon about a week ago, and I am just going to get them started again. So i am wondering what the best solution would be for a 5th character. Pre-WOTLK I cleared everthing Heroic and Normal with 4 shamans so the extra shaman would just be a bost in DPS. Making things die faster = win.
On my warlock i have cleared everything Normal and Heroic in WOLTK and i can see some situations that 5 earth elementals would just not cut it or kiting mobs around.
I have a DK @ level 60 after a few hours of play and there pretty interesting. I have played a warrior and a pally before. I still have about 15 days left on my RAF. Has anyone tried taking a Deathknight to 59 and using the grant levels on a lower character? Because you could ( if it works ) level two DK's to 59/60 and grant levels. If this would work, I could just RAF a druid / pally / warrior on Turalyon.
So, what would be my best soultion?

This works, but only the levels the DK earns count for grant-a-level purpose. So, a DK leveled to 59 will have 2 levels to grant to the veteran linked account.
With respect to the tanking question, i personally have a 5-box shaman team at level 72, and am bringing up another team which includes a pally, DK, and druid at 63 at the moment.
I'm planning on running 3 shammies, 1 boomkin, and still undecided about the pally vs. DK for main tank. I'm inclined to the DK, which generate more DPS than a prot pally and are frankly a ton of fun to play. They also bring some good synergies of their own (esp. Ebon Plaugebringer; +12% magic damage). However, the pally is simpler from the perspective of using a mashable, AoE based tanking /castrandom macro. That's a pretty strong positive, since maxing out elemental shammy DPS in WoTLK looks like it's going to require a multi-button strategy to maximize effective use of LvB.

I know this is off topic but are you saying you cleared everthing Heroic with only your 4 shaman, no 5th toon in the group period, either it be you or someone else?

I'm EU server here.
I levelled my DK so quickly I didn't want to leave Ebon Hold Area,so I tohught i'd lost my Gift Lvls turns out I can gift them even at 61,.It was epecially usefull for topping up characters around the 58-59 mark,you only get 2 levels tho,(sneekingly hoped I might get more but nup :pinch: )
